Tribology, friction, and lubrication: A new dimension to metal forming simulations
In our previous post on the stamping system, several environmental variables within production sheet metal stamping are mentioned. In that post we listed variables...
The Stamping System
A recurring theme on this blog, so far, has been sources of variation in production that might not be apparent to engineers when defining,...
In the rearview mirror
Earlier this year AutoForm started this blog, “We Think In Sheet Metal”. Our goal: to communicate directly with you—the metal forming and engineering community. ...
Infinitely adjustable presses, when should we stop adjusting?
Numerical controlled (N/C) cushions have previously been the realm of large OEMs and Tier 0.5 stampers in their newer large presses. Until now, the...
Options for Effective Draw Bead Modelling
Do you ever think about the numerous options for draw bead modelling? When and why should we use numerical line beads?
When is it...
Tryout and Simulation results don’t match? Now what?
Significant wrinkling in draw operation? What leads to this behavior?
As a provider of software for metal forming simulation, on occasion customers will contact our...
